May 25, 2010, Rome, Italy – NoMachine NX plays an important role in ITER
Organization's efforts to develop fusion energy, reducing the
consumption of fossil fuels and damage to the environment. NX provides
ITER Domestic Agencies around the world with secure remote access to
ITER services and software stored on centralized servers at ITER
Organization's headquarters in Cadarache, France.

Established to
develop a new, cleaner, sustainable source of energy, ITER Organization
has become one of the largest and most ambitious worldwide science
projects ever conducted. The Control Data Access and Communication
(CODAC) Department builds the central control system for the ITER
Experimental Tokamak and uses NX to manage remote collaborator's
manufacturing and enable interaction of other systems with the central
system.

These collaborating ITER Domestic Agencies are located
around the globe in China, Europe, India, Japan, Russian Federation,
South Korea and USA. They have CODAC development systems available
locally, but are provided remote access via NX to the frequently updated
development environment and software as they are synchronized and
verified with the central services.

As ITER strives to produce
renewable energies, NX helps to implement greener IT practices, driving
down energy costs and other IT operating expenses such as travel and
hardware expenditure. ITER Domestic Agencies can access a reference
Instrumentation and Control hardware without additional purchases or
investments, to be used for testing purposes from wherever they are
located around the world. NX is an efficient and less-energy-intensive
technology that eliminates the need for ITER collaborators to travel by
allowing them to access resources from anywhere remotely.

“NoMachine
NX has enabled the CODAC Department of the ITER Organization to deploy
an easily manageable and accessible IT infrastructure, providing a
remote access solution for truly international collaboration with the
ITER Project,” said Control Systems and Engineer for CHD/CODAC & IT,
Petri Makijarvi.

Using remote access from NoMachine NX to
support research, ITER Organization is working towards producing viable
commercial energy from fusion. The ITER fusion device will replace
energy sources that harm the environment with the goal of delivering 10
times the power it consumes. Using NX to provide worldwide access to
resources, ITER strives toward the Age of Fusion, an age of the future
where energy needs are met with a universally available and
environmentally safe resource.
